mosquito^® HV

User-friendly and flexible low volume pipetting that bridges the gap between nanolitres and microlitres

Powerful and precise liquid handling performance

mosquito HV delivers powerful liquid handling performance, bridging the gap between nanolitres and microlitres.

Its positive displacement technology offers exceptional accuracy and precision, irrespective of liquid class, delivering significant savings on precious reagents and time.

True positive displacement pipetting delivers exceptional accuracy

mosquito HV harnesses innovative positive displacement pipetting in the nL to µL range, picking up where traditional liquid handling falls down. Disposable micropipettes with individual pistons deliver exceptional accuracy and precision, irrespective of liquid class. The instrument is equally suited to automated handling of viscous samples and low surface tension liquids.

Low volume, high speed serial dilutions minimize waste and maximize throughput

mosquito HV is the perfect liquid handler for low volume serial dilutions, minimizing waste and maximizing throughput. The instrument can rapidly and reliably prepare serial dilutions in the 1 - 10 µL range, and even stamp them out into multiple assay plates saving precious stock solutions and time. With mosquito, researchers benefit from the flexibility to aspirate, dispense and even mix in any SBS plate type or format.

High throughput plate preparation increases efficiency

mosquito HV offers rapid plate-to-plate transfer and tip exchange, reducing time consuming processes. The instrument allows easy reformatting from any plate type or format to another, with access to low profile microtubes eliminating the need for intermediate mother plates.

Create acoustic-ready plates to complement acoustic screening workflows

mosquito HV complements and enhances acoustic screening workflows by creating acoustic-ready plates offline to improve efficiency and throughput while reducing dead volumes.

Walk up and use technology

The user-friendly instrument and software interface are accessible for even novice users, minimizing operator training time and simplifying setup.

Disposable pipettes ensure assay integrity

Disposable pipettes guard against cross-contamination and assure the integrity of assays and the quality of your research outcomes.

High performance technology

Our liquid handling instruments harness innovative technology to streamline workflows and accelerate research.

Robust, reliable, and easy to use, our products overcome tough technical challenges and enable researchers to focus on the best science.

True positive displacement pipetting

Each of our disposable micropipettes has its own individual piston, not an air gap or system liquid, offering true positive displacement pipetting with no risk of cross-contamination.

Low volume accuracy and precision

mosquito HV offers high performance, low volume automated pipetting in the 500 nL to 5 µL range. The instrument combines outstanding accuracy with an average of less than 3% error throughout the volume range and unrivaled precision with average CVs of 3%.

Intuitive by design

Our application led software combines usability and functionality, with an intuitive user experience tailored to each scientific application.

Through collaboration with scientists, our software team develops and enhances the instrument UI to provide the optimal user experience and facilitate adoption into novel application areas.

Extend capabilities with workflow integration

mosquito integrates seamlessly with a wide variety of laboratory instrumentation, including robotic plate handlers, stackers and bulk liquid handlers to extend capabilities and further streamline workflows.
